The last person on my list

Like most of us I meet many new people each day. The questions that inevitably comes up is ‘Where do you want to be’? All too many say they are working hard to make the ‘big money’ and retire early.  They usually have drive, determination and smarts.

These are the last people I want to be associated with.

I do what I do because I like it. I’m interested both personally and professionally, to the point where those lives are one in the same. Often I’ll work obscene hours and I’m always trying new things. My work comes from a place of personal interest, not strictly goal driven outcomes.

It’s why I think people like me will often end up winning. We don’t work off an hourly clock, performance outcomes and raining competencies. We work from passion. People notice this and in the long haul there is nothing more valuable.

Ask yourself: Which one are you?

    Coming from a place of passion is the only way.

    If, in doing so, you win big and can retire early then great, make that choice. But I believe people like you and I would never choose that.

    We’ll just go on to create more, engage with people, learn, play, challenge ourselves and really live life. I can’t myself saying `I’m retired’ – that word is so last second!
